Construction History: (Construction date, alterations, and date of alteration) On June 26, 1920, Alberta Security Company, (a real estate and construction company owned by Master Builder Martin V. and Alberta Melhorn), purchased Lot 15 in Block 482, of C.C. Seaman’s Resubdivision from Dr. Henry G. Leisenring. Master Builder Martin V. Melhorn bought lots, built houses and then sold them throughout Mission Hills. The Alberta Security Company took out a building permit for a cottage and garage frame at 3851 Hawk Street. Melhorn listed his company as the owner and builder. The building permit was published the day before the deed transferred from Dr. Leisenring to the Alberta Security Company. A Notice of Completion could not be found. The sewer permit is dated September 20, 1920. The Colonial Revival bungalow at 3851 Hawk Street was most likely completed in 1920 since taxes were assessed on January 1, 1921 according to the County lot and block book. The Sandborn map shows the house but not the garage from 1920 through 1956. Subsequent permits issued include: a permit for roofing issued on November 21, 1931, electrical work on January 29, 1936, water heater on April 26, 1967; replacement fireplace on November 9, 1993; electrical work on February 28, 1994 possibly for the newer laundry area at the back of the house and a guest dwelling on July 16, 1997. *B7.
